[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 16587144, member: 116684"] Managed to back feed the oil and get it primed. I put the distributor back in and fired it up. Now I've got a new problem. My guess at timing was too far off so I needed to advance it a tooth. I go to put the distributor back in and it won't seat. It feels like it won't engage the pump shaft properly. I go to turn the shaft hoping it will slide on properly and it feels like the shaft is kind of cocked, and very notchy. It's not snapped- I can just barely see the base of it turning down by the pump. I tried throwing the drill on it and it does not feel like it's moving oil now either. I'm going to put a gauge on it to see, but I don't have high hopes. Any ideas what could cause it to not want to seat, feel notchy, and not seem to move oil? Well, aside from spontaneous oil pump failure. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised at the number of components grenading after sitting in a junkyard for 15 years. [/QUOTE]
